Privatizing the city of St. Joseph's landfill is no longer
considered a viable option, and the city will now try to find more
trash haulers to use the landfill.
The city had been looking into selling or leasing the landfill to
a private company for more than a year.
After a detailed presentation Tuesday night, the City Council
informally decided to follow Public Works Director Bruce Woody's
recommendation that the dozen bids it received were too low to
justify getting rid of the landfill. Even by selling or leasing the
landfill, the city still would've had to pay for future closure
costs.
